Graeme's thought of the day...

Every year, at the start of January, I am struck by just how many more people are choosing to give up the "booze" for a bit. I used to ask why? When the only viable alternatives were bang average, imitation drinks that tasted pretty meh.

How things have changed!!

The Low and No drinks offering we have in our businesses this year fills me with pride and joy. Amazing products that are not only interesting, they all taste blooming brilliant to boot. To the teams at Wednesday's Domaine, Pentire, Talonmore Drinks Company Limited, Botivo Drinks | B corp MuriDrinks and everyone else we work with, I salute you.

My heart will always be with great wine, but, when I choose not to drink (on that very rare occasion..) I know I have something that still rewards me. Oh, and a quick word on price, yes, they are equal to their alcoholic pals. Why, because it is actually really difficult to develop the amount of flavour and sensation that these drinks have, without the addition of alcohol. The process takes time and patience (which all costs money).

I have been a massive supporter and believer in the Low and No market since 2020, when I launched the Small Spirits Company (now part of the WineKraft business). As peoples habits change, so do we, and it is thanks to the constant innovation from brave people like these that we have confidence in the future.

Brush aside the January blues with our new wine box.

Welcome to 2025.

The weather is freezing, the mood is glum and most of the world is in detox mode. However, if you are choosing to not abstain, then we have a wine box for you!

Our January wine offering is guaranteed to get rid of the "Blues" and perk up your month. Packed full of big, warming, textured wines and a cheeky Non Alc as well. What is not to like.

In this box:

Phermento Pet Nat Lambrusco - A wine that can not help but put a smile on your face! Made in the Pet Nat method, it is chokka block with raspberries, fresh red fruits and rhubarb. All rounded off with a grippy texture.

Funkstille Gruner Vertliner - A firm favourite among the WineKraft family. Fresh, zippy yet packing a little punch. A tingly spice and great length.

Bodega La Purisima Blanco - A relatively new find from Spain last year, but we are so glad we found it. A blend of Macabeo with a hint of Sauv Blanc from Yecla, Spain. It is rich and textured with intense citrus and floral notes. Perfect for a winters evening.

Ernst & Gouw Pinot Noir - Pinot Noir from the Western Cape of South Africa, this shows layers of flavour and grip. Very french in style, it is the perfect balance of richness and minerality. Basically its just Yummy!!

Mesta Tempranillo - A vibrant and juicy unoaked Tempranillo from high altitude Spain. It is packed with juicy plums, damson and a lick of rosemary and thyme. Very, very moreish.

Muri Yamile - If you have not been introduced to the Muri Drinks family, you really are missing out. A non alcoholic fermentation and blend from the former head of fermentation at Noma in Copenhagen, the Yamile is a lightly spritzed delight. Packed full of smoked lacto fermented rhubarb, gooseberries, raspberry and pink peppercorns, it is a delight. Whats more, you still feel like you are part of the party!

Order yours today to start January the right way.

GAMAY GAMAY GAMAY...

Yesterdays wine quiz might have been a bit too easy considering today is Beaujolais Nouveau Day...

But if you guessed Gamay then well done!

Gamay may not have the star power of Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir, but this cheerful, versatile red wine has a devoted fanbase—and for good reason! Known for its bright fruit flavors, refreshing acidity, and food-friendly nature, Gamay is a grape worth adding to your wine collection.

Gamay is a red grape variety with deep roots (literally!) in France, particularly in the Beaujolais region just south of Burgundy. Its full name is Gamay Noir à Jus Blanc, and it has been grown in France since at least the 14th century.

Interestingly, Gamay was once shunned by the Dukes of Burgundy, who favored Pinot Noir and went so far as to ban Gamay in the 1300s. Luckily for us, the grape found its forever home in Beaujolais, where it thrives in the region’s granite-rich soils.

We are running our Beaujolais Fun Run tonight and we are so excited! For anyone not part taking in the run, don't worry, we will have 5 Beaujolais Nouveau 2024 open for tasting from 5pm today in both stores, make sure to pop in and grab yours to take home whilst you can!

It will also be on for tasting for our Friday Bottle club tomorrow, a weekend full of BOJO basically!

Dont miss it!!! 🍷

2024 DOMAINE DE LA SORBIÈRE Beaujolais Nouveau (8 days Maceration)
2024 DOMAINE DE LA SORBIÈRE Beaujolais Nouveau (2 days Maceration)

We will be pouring Bojo Novo from Thursday at Good Brothers and we will have all 5 open for tasting at both WineKraft Canonmills and West End.

Volumes are a little restricted this year, so make sure you get in early to get your Beaujolais Nouveau fix.

Did you know Merlot is French for Little Blackbird? Cute right.

One of the most planted grape varietals on the planet, Merlot is known for being soft in texture and displaying ripe fruit. These characteristics often lend it to being a major player in red blends. Im sorry to tell you, but if you feel like you normally wouldn't go for a merlot, you’re probably enjoying it anyway without even knowing, as its often paired with more tannic or herbaceous varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc (who is also merlots dad).

Merlot is often a key component to the world famous blends of Bordeaux and Napa Valley. Single varietal Merlots often show juicy blackcurrant and bramble on the palate and smooth silky tannins on the finish. Shes a very food friendly wine and pairs well with tomato based dishes, roast chicken, mushroom and cured meats! Pretty much anything really.

Check out the range online, or pop into the West End or Canonomills and pick up a bottle! Perhaps this Chateau Picoron Le Bon Nobel (aka the bird wine) 100% Merlot from Bordeaux £28
